James Johnson

James Robert Johnson (born Louis Jacques Bernhardt; 10 June 1940), known professionally as James Johnson, is a Kuboian singer, songwriter, dancer and musician who is perhaps best known as the lead guitarist for The Clubmen.

Early life
Louis Jacques Bernhardt was born on 10 June 1940 in Fahrbahnin, Kuboia as the only child of Louis Bernhardt (1921-1952) and Eloise Garnier (1921-2010). The two had fled Paris just weeks prior as a result of the Battle of France and sought refuge in Kuboia. His father had a career as a theatre performer, while his mother worked as an assistant for a local music shop.

When he was just twelve years-old, his father was killed in an accident involving a falling stage light. His father’s death caused him to become isolated from his peers.

He adopted the name James Johnson from Robert Johnson.
